Original Submission by Sabitha Sriram

Light Worker; Colours of Universe

Like the sparkle In overflowing milk, boiling with white light

a shine that is shining bright, is it a place where all things are right?

A million stars, meteors, and constellations which are multi coloured

in this galaxy, in humanity the crescent moon shines with his craters, and we are overpowered.

Dozens of souls, voiceless and born some are sun kissed with the sight for zenith

others are gliding past the victories of sins, make believe masks as the actor’s dance to plummet.

Is it the wonders of the world, the blues of skies or seas or mountains that I am missing in nature,

Is it the same past, present or future?

craters of moon as he shines to be the companion in the dark

as sailors row with a few one or more shark, and life seems stark.

The worship of sadism, or pleasure

with forgiveness as treasure

marked by cruelty

people in poverty.

Love and hearts of hidden souls,

chapters with gaze of affection, as life pours in a bowl,

sometimes full of sweet milk, otherwise a galaxy it is like elk.

We stand in the illusion, as the evergreen is a product of imagination

will we find the love of hidden soul, as we outshine in a world without deprivation.

Joy of sharing, support, kindness, beautiful mind, and conduct

confers conquests to end quarrel, the moon is not new, accomplishment none to abduct.

In substance the lull, or gloom and sweet voice of beloved spirit

the fullness of sun as new moon fades to lift us to merit.

In my reflections, the new moon grows in his charm and craters,

from cracking the inner demons to wisdom and endless joy in the night’s breeze and cricket’s whispers
